Suture material Vicryl Rapid is a synthetic sterile surgical absorbable suture material, which is consist of 90% of the glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The empirical formula of copolymer - (S2H2O2) m (C3H4O2) n. Vicryl Rapid is characterized by rapid loss of tensile strength which is the result of using a polymer with a lower molecular weight than conventional suture material Vicryl (Polihlaktin 910). Suture material Vicryl Rapid is obtained by coating wicker floss copolymer consisting of 90% caprolactone and 10% glycolide, which is then coated by copolymer composition consisting of equal parts of glycolide and lactide (Polihlaktina 370) and calcium stearate. Copolymer polihlaktin 910 and its coverage proved as antigenic, pyrogen-free and cause weak tissue reaction during absorption period.More info
